Adolescents with Eating Disorders: Are there Identifi able Characteristics?
Journal Title: Annals of Psychiatry and Treatment - Year 2017, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
Aim: Adolescents with eating disorders frequently present late for treatment or not at all. This study aimed to determine whether there were any identifying characteristics of adolescents with eating disorders that might assist health care professionals with earlier detection. A secondary aim was to determine whether there were any differences between adolescents who required inpatient treatment versus outpatient treatment only. Early identifi cation could allow treatment modifi cation aiming to avoid admission.
